Myke Hideous – lead singer & song writer, composer, author, photographer, artist. Former lead singer for THE EMPIRE HIDEOUS, THE MISFITS, SPYSOCIETY99 & THE BRONX CASKET CO; author of King Of An Empire To The Shoes Of A Misfit.

In 1987, Myke Hideous auditioned for the lead singer position in Kryst the Conqueror, the heavy metal band project led by former Misfits bassist Jerry Only and his brother Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein (lead guitarist). The recording singer chosen for the band’s only album, Deliver Us from Evil (1989), was Jeff Scott Soto.

Myke Hideous created his own band, The Empire Hideous, for which he was the lead singer and song writer. The group issued a first EP, This Evil on Earth, in 1991 and four albums from 1994 to 1998. Hideous released a solo album called Out of Anger in 1994.

After his Misfits experience, Myke Hideous sang for Spy Society 99 and The Bronx Casket Co., with whom he recorded the album Sweet Home Transylvania (2001, credited as “Spy”).

At the beginning of 2011, Myke released his final Empire Hideous record, The Time Has Come, and also appeared in the documentary Living the American Nightmare: The Story of a Rockstar. This documentary features Myke Hideous as the main center-piece, telling the story of his rock star life and his battle with cancer at the age of 21.

In October 2012, he released the cover song “Moving in Stereo” by The Cars as a free download on his website to commemorate the death of Peter Steele (lead vocalist of Type O Negative), as it was one of Steele’s favorite songs.[2] The song is also available on Bandcamp.
